With over 1,000 glowing reviews and top rankings in mysticism genres, this newly reissued edition features a foreword by Andrew Harvey, making it a must-have for modern seekers craving timeless wisdom. ## Description Mikhail Naimy's timeless classic, an allegory often compared to the works of his friend Khalil Gibran, presents the teachings of Mirdad, abbott of a monastery that stands where Noah's Ark came to rest after the Flood. In a series of dialogues with his disciples, Mirdad offers lessons on themes such as love, obedience, borrowing and lending, repentance, old age, and the cycle of life and death. Reissued for a new generation, this prophetic work calls on humankind to prepare for another deluge, greater than Noah's, when Heaven will be revealed on Earth. Includes a new foreword by Andrew Harvey, author of the bestselling A Journey in Ladakh and several other seminal works of spirituality! Review: This book made me see. - Probably only the best book I will ever lay my eyes upon, every paragraph is worth a handful of gold in terms of spiritual value. I don't think I can ever go back to seeing the world through the old smeared lens of illusion ever again after reading it, and I'm barely halfway through... Every second spent reading this is a great pleasure, privilege and just shear joy. If you get this book like blessed OSHO says, you shall drop your suffering like a dirty piece of nasty torn clothing. This also makes for a truly precious gift, the quality and magnitude of which is hard to match. It only has to be read with a certain receptivity and desire for truth. Review: Enchanting - Anyone who is considering purchasing this book will, most likely, already have taken the first, essential, steps upon the inward journey of spiritual awakening. I am sure, then, they will be ready and equipped to understand and appreciate the text. The Book Of Mirdad is exquisitely written. A most poetic read, I found it completely enchanting from beginning to end and did not want to put it down. I totally agree with other critiques, in that : it should be read slowly as to digest it thoroughly and it can be re-read many times ( almost to the point of reference ) A truly beautiful book. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 36,249 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 12 in Sufism 27 in Christian Mysticism 39 in Mysticism (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,019 Reviews | ## Images ![The Book of Mirdad: The Strange Story of a Monastery Which Was Once Called the Ark - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UAuslfS8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book made me see. *by M***S on 1 May 2023* Probably only the best book I will ever lay my eyes upon, every paragraph is worth a handful of gold in terms of spiritual value.

I finished it in one sitting, but its not a book that you read and put on the shelve. Each time that I read it I found that there was so much more that I missed the first time around. This book a very valuable gem to have.
